Daredevil is assembling an army to take him down.

While Daredevil revealed his plan to get a group together to fight against Fisk in the finale, only a handful of characters showed up as the first of said army. None of them were heroes, with Deborah Ann Woll's Karen Page being the biggest character besides Charlie Cox's Daredevil. However, the already confirmed Daredevil: Born Again season 2 could change that, bringing in more heroes affected by Mayor Fisk's actions. With so many heroes operating in the MCU's New York, there are some who make a lot of sense for the show, and one can be redeemed.

The Defenders Saga Had A Major Danny Rand Problem

There is no denying that Iron Fist was the worst of the Marvel shows in Netflix's The Defenders Saga. While Daredevil had impressive fight sequences, Iron Fist simply did not live up to that high standard. Most of Danny Rand's fights, particularly in season 1, are devoid of a sense of realism. Adding to that, the writing for Danny Rand was far from ideal, making Finn Jones sound repetitive with his whole "I am the Immortal Iron Fist" presentation routine.

While Iron Fist would come to work better in season 2, with Jones delivering more solid performances in The Defenders and Luke Cage season 2, the show was canceled before it could really get good. Given how much Iron Fist has been criticized, Marvel Studios now has the chance to redeem Jones' Danny Rand by bringing him back to the MCU. Daredevil's army in Born Again season 2 is the perfect place for all his Defenders teammates to return, and Iron Fist could finally shine with a key role.

Daredevil's army will seemingly operate out of Josie's, the bar from the original series that has been closed since Foggy was killed by Bullseye. With Daredevil's MCU army going underground, the team will need resources to stand up to Mayor Fisk and his Anti-Vigilante Task Force. That is where Iron Fist could come in. Danny Rand is one of the MCU's wealthiest heroes. Besides helping the team on the field fighting villains, Iron Fist has the means to Daredevil's army financially. That would give Danny a unique role in Daredevil: Born Again season 2, helping redeem the hero.
